Interesting change. If it works as intended I am all for it. To me it seems the sticker and auth card are much easier to fake. From what I could see on pictures the superfakes have stickers that look like the auth ones and of course a matching number on the auth card.
I'm also curious on how the retail and resell prices will develop. Would you buy now (as long as the old system is used) or wait for the new tag?

I just bought a Gabrielle and when I check. It didn’t have the card or serial numbers too.
My SA called me explaining that few stores starts releasing the new protocols with the metal plate instead of the card already.

But im curious how to read the serial on the metal plate. Because it doesn’t come with usual 8 digits. It has 2 letters with it.
Anyone has that?

It's a pain. If I place my lambskin SLG against the plate, and stuffed with other items, i have no doubt my SLG will no longer look the same. (This is so for smaller bags when space is already limited).
Just who came out with this intrusive idea? Not against the technology; but whoever decided to place the plate there should be fired.

Yes, the alphanumeric on the plate matches the receipt's. However I'm not sure if this is applicable to all countries; just like some countries show the serial numbers on receipt, some don't.
Thanks @Purrsey - did your SA register your details for 5 years warranty at checkout ? or did you have to register separately
you are right ! i am not a fan of metal plate idea .. it is for sure a last minute thought !
Hi. I almost wanted to get one small flap but pulled trigger due to the plate. And I wasn't 100percent sure how this new direction works. So i didn't proceed. What I've learnt is based on what my personal shopper shared with me. But since this is so new, I don't want to believe everything she said first lol. So I'm not able to share much here too for now.
No problem Thanks for the info.. am not sure how reselling will work and if the sellers can register our details for 5 years warranty
may be we need couple of seasons to get used to this new plate thingyI'm curious to know too.
I think we are all so used to the old way. It's like suddenly the chain is broken (I think last seen serial is #31xxxxxx?); it'll take time to get used to it.
